California Baptist College
Nov. 19, 1982
The Chemistry Department was proud to use their new fume
hood for the first time last week.
Fire Strikes CBC
The Olie T. Brown Conference Room was the scene of
a small fire Monday
afternoon.
Witnesses reported that the
fire apparently started as a
result of blowtorches used to
remove paint during the
renovation work (m this wing
of CBC's Wallace Building.
"We were scraping the old
paint," said Joel Parkins, Va
volunteer student worker,
"and using the torches to
soften it up."
"The painter left to get
some scaffolding and I went to
help; the next thing I knew we
were having a weenie roast."
Smoke streamed from the
roof which alerted
maintenance workers who
rushed to the building with
garden hoses and a fire axe.
"We saw the fire and ran
over," said Steve Quarells,
maintenance worker. "Some
of us yanked down the fire axe
from the cafeteria and the rest
got the hoses out." They
quickly doused the roof and
contained the flames until
firemen arrived. "It could
have been a lot worse."
Firemen agreed that the fire
could have been devastating if
it had been given more time
and the maintenance crews'
response less prompt.
"Most of this wing is wood
and other combustibles," said
Chuck Cfioster, Fire Inspector
for the City of Riverside, "and
a large fire would have
destroyed a great deal of this
wing. If it had started later in
the day with fewer people here
to react it could have been a
serious fire. The maintenance
people's response really
helped."
Students and faculty were
cleared from the main building
and Dr. Olie T. Brown,
former Academic Dean and
Professor Emeritus watched
while firemen put out the last
of the fire and cleared away
the smoke.
Dr. Brown, however, still
was sure enough of the situation to offer some wry humor.
"That's the first time I have
heard the fire alarm go off
around here when it meant
something."
Students Aid Campaigns
Democratic and
Republican candidates in the
Nov. 2 election were aided by
members of the Political Parties' class who walked the
precincts, manned phone
banks, and made and installed
signs for their campaigns.
Six of the candidates,
representing both major parties and the non-partisan candidacies, spoke to the class
about their aims and qualifications, including one candidate
who was a CBC graduate. The
class also conducted a survey
of CBC attitudes on domestic
and foreign policy issues.
On election night, members
of the class met with Mrs.
Argow at Election Board
headquarters to meet candidates and hold a midnight
watch on election returns.
Some of them then adjourned
for a victory celebration to the
home of Melba Dunlap, who
won the non-partisan county
supervisor's post.
Many of the candidates
have expressed their gratitude
to the CBC Political Parties'
class members for their contributions to the campaigns.

A delegation from the People's Republic of China visited
California Baptist College
Thursday as part of a seventeen day tour of the United
States to promote increased
travel to their country by student groups.
Mr. Wang Erkang, Deputy
General Manager of the China
International Travel Service,
and a four member party
toured CBC with Dr. James
Staples, President, Steven
Carlton, Academic Dean, and
Bob Bryson, Director of
Business Affairs.
The program included a luncheon for the group and a
brief concert by CBC's
Chamber Singers ensemble.
The visit was arranged
through Encounter With
Christ, a Pasadena based
evangelical organization.
"Last summer Encounter
With Christ took some of their
staff people and had a training
session in China/' said Dean
Carlton. "Because they're a
group which primarily trains
college students they were
naturally made up of a lot of
young people. Reubeji Ortega,
the head of EWC, wondered if
the Chinese had had any of the
problems with taking care of a
student group."
"The Chinese were interested in having more conventions; Rueben asked if they
wanted to come to the U.S.
They've been very interested in
everything."
Tourism in general,has increased in recent years, and
this visit is in the precedent of
the rapidly accelerating thaw
in U.S.-Chinese relations since
the general Chinese re-
evaluation of the attitudes
promulgated during the anti-
Western Cultural Revolution
of the sixties, and the deposal
of the Maoist "Gang of Four"
which dominated internal and
foreign affairs after Mao-tse
Tung's death in 1976.
"We are
very interested in promoting
travel to our country and today we have arranged a visit
with your school," said Mr.
Erkang. "We are pleased to
meet your President, Dean,
and the students of your
school. I would encourage all
to visit our country."
When asked about China's
changing role in this century's
changing world Erkang
replied, A*There was a^time
when China was humiliated by
Westerners, but the situation
has changed."
"China is a beautiful nation
with much to offer a visitor."
The group will continue
their tour by visiting San Fran- •
cisco, Dallas, and Chicago.
They will depart for China on
November 24th.
